just sitting in an exurb is soul killing

[traininthedistance]

I invite you to visit DeSoto County, MS. All the haphazard strip malls and subdivisions with the added bonus of a predominently Southern Baptist population with Confederate sympathies. And it's still the most livable placein the state. At least most people aren't impoverished and they have a couple of Targets. Count your blessings

More livable than Starkville or Biloxi?

I don't care much for Starkville. Oxford is a vastly prettier town. Either way, small little college towns in the middle of nowhere are not for me. There's not much to Biloxi either. The beaches are far, far better a couple of hours east along I-10. I like Perdido Key, right on the AL/FL state line. The MS Gulf Coast has a few casinos if you're into that, but as coastal areas go, it's doesn't have much going for it, either natural or man-made.

Small little college towns are not really my first choice, either, but I'd take them over exurbia any day.
